According to example shown in figure 3, the packet 400 running into error of transmission as prototype version is just substituted as the packet 410 being consistent of copy by it in coupling element 14.Therefore, for this kind of method, it is not required that the packet of two data streams 71,72 of input is a fully buffered in signal processing unit 113.
Such as it is sufficient that there is being the serial number of the most error-free the packet received according to only storage in the memory element 135 distributing to signal processing unit 13 of Fig. 1.In order to identify the redundant data packets received, described signal processing unit 13 checks the serial number of described new packet and the concordance of the most stored serial number in a straightforward manner when receiving new packet.Redundancy designator in the packet received, as inavid date is preferably assessed by the detector unit 142 shown by FIG, and described detector unit is assigned to the controller 141 of coupling element 14, and abandons the packet with redundancy designator.This such as can be carried out based on cyclic redundancy check (CRC) (cyclic redundancy check).

In the case of the quantity of error-free the packet received increases and the quantity of the most wrong the packet received substantially is stagnated, the signal transmission of assessment unit 144 has the network state that redundancy is lost.In the case of the quantity of error-free and wrong the packet received is stagnated, assessment unit 144 transmits network failure with signal.
Based on communication equipment 1 shown in FIG, it is capable of the redundancy box for PRP or HSR communication network 2 according to Figure 4 and 5, according to the seamless redundancy of high availability or according to Parallel Redundancy Protocol transmission packet in described PRP or HSR communication network.According to Fig. 4, redundancy box 1 is linked in the sub-network 21,22 of PRP communication network 2 respectively together with its transmitting and receiving unit 11,12, and described PRP communication network includes the PRP network node 51-53 of multiple bi-directional chaining.Additionally, redundancy box 1 is connected with the network node 31-33 of multiple one-way linkages.
